kinesiology taping
Kinesio Tape is a form of rehabilitative and athletic taping that is designed to provide support and stability to the muscles without restricting range of motion. It also acts to prolong the benefit of any manual therapy done.
By targeting different receptors within the somatosensory system, Kinesiology Taping alleviates pain and facilitates lymphatic drainage by microscopically lifting the skin. This lifting affect forms convolutions in the skin thus increasing interstitial space and allowing for a decrease in inflammation of the affected areas.
